Water- fuelled cars
 

Water-fuelled cars. An interesting concept.

The thing is I see so many 'conversion' links that look like scams and more than one video of someone claiming they are the inventor of converting water to energy.

It dosn't really matter who invented it but it makes it all seem that much more untrue.

If you were able to have/convert your car to a 'green' energy source what would it be?

water ?
electric?
solar?
ethanol?

It would be nice to have an energy source big oil corporations didn't have their hands in it. If I could privately/inexpensively convert to solar, water or electric I would.

If I could find a flux capacitor I could use anything as a fuel.

Oh very funny. I had to google that ya know :p

And I mis-spoke. I meant a Mr. Fusion, not a flux capacitor.

Little slaves from Mars.:alien2:

envy. it would be a perpetual cycle. totally cool. all the greeny weenies would want it thus fueling the fire causing more greeny envy...

Extra, extra, read all about it!
Water for fuel, is a miracle cure!
Extra, extra, read all about it!
Extra, Extra! :headshake

Hung, in your defense, you can't have Mr. Fusion without the Flux Capacitor.

Not yet, anyway.

sure and if I would have said,"alternative" energy you probably would have said,"naked women pushing your car" :p

Well it sounded funnier in my head.

MY own fury.
The downside being I am working on caring less about little things. But for the time being it would work. And after all if the car stopped working, I'd want to do a Basil Fawlty and hit it with part of a tree, thus getting it started again.

I've, pushed naked women, in my car. :p

Talking to my brother over the holiday weekend, I learned that he bought a new (used) car.

It sounds pretty damn cool. He bought it on E-bay from a fleet in Pennsylvania and had it shipped to him in California. It's a used Honda Accord that he got for $15,000 plus a couple hundred for the shipping.

It runs on compressed natural gas. The tank is in the trunk so the trunk is much smaller than a normal trunk, and it only has a range of like 200 miles, and the natural gas stations are pretty rare. So all that is less than ideal.

But he says it costs only $12 to fill it up, and it runs about 200 miles on that fill. There is a station right along his commute in the Bay Area, so it's very convenient for him for around town use. It looks and behaves just like a regular Honda Accord in every other way. And the best thing is that he can drive in the HOV (car pool) lanes alone in the car. So he rockets past all the other traffic and pays half to a quarter of what they do per mile for fuel. He isn't selling his old car, so he can still use the gasoline powered one for road trips where compressed stations are rare.

I know the entire nation can't switch to natural gas, because there just isn't enough of the stuff, but it's working out really well for him.

I'll visit him in three weeks and get to see the car first hand.

I'd love to know who owned that fleet... maybe one of the gas companies? If you think of it, please ask your brother if he knows.

Sounds very interesting...
